Come to think of it, I didn't even get to the point of checking the fuses once I knew EM8 was bad. Probably should have been my first check, but it would have been the next one if it still wasn't charging.
Was the PCB model# a certain type that is conducive to that mod? I was fixing this for a friend and he just wanted it normal/working so my mind wasn't even on an alternate route!
@ model number didnt matter. Only thing that matter was if you wanted audio out of the type c or not. There was an additional step if you did that needed to be done
I accidentally broke the EM8 chip today and it is not charing now. Appreciate that if you could share where could I buy the spare EM8 filter. That will be super helpful!!!!
This is where I got mine but you can get them on aliexpress for cheaper if you're willing to wait for longer shipping times. www.etsy.com/listing/1406558423/brand-new-game-boy-advance-sp-em8-ds
Great video, it's music to my eyes. Should have tested the GB with some Link's Awakening.
Thank you! Ah missed opportunity not using LA haha
Clear, easy to follow instructions! Great tutorial
I appreciate that and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much.
I watched this video and fixed my sp!! 3:52
Glad to hear it, nice work!
Love your videos I especially love the Game Boy videos
Thank you, I come across them broken every so often so I'm sure there is more to come!
Great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Yup this confirms it I have no idea how to solder and won't be doing this myself. 👏🏽😂
No time like the present to learn!
Gotta get a hot air station! I got one a few years ago, it made installing new capacitors on my PS3 a lot easier (you really gotta get the board hot)
I should be getting one soon!
Ahh, something different besides the fuses. Those are usually the culprit for no charging.

This board would of been a perfect board to have a type c mod installed instead of the replacement oem style port

My Gameboy advance sp is hardly charging I don't suppose you could fix mine too?
